Essential Montmartre

The midday tour will start from the Blanche square, and snake its way through the Montmartre streets and alleyways to highlight its history and its association with the impressionist painters.

The idea is to show the essential Montmartre in a nut shell. So showing the mainly the upper parts of Montmartre. This is an ideal tour for people short of time.

While gradually walking up to the summit of the Montmartre hill, I'll be showing the best cafes with views, the locations of the famous artist's ateliers, interesting architectural features of the 'village' part of Montmartre, and other more recent artistic curiosities of 20th century Montmartre.
To save time, we'll not be entering the two Montmartre museums or the churches. But passing in front of them, I'll give a short presentation about each of them.
This tour will give you a good experience and feel of what Montmartre is all about, so you can claim to have visited this famous neighborhood.
The tour will also give you advice on what else to see, especially the interior of various buildings of touristic interest. So join me on this tour!
Some of the stops are, 

• 'I love you' mural
• Old Abbey herbal garden
• Renoir  studio 
• Picasso studio
• A traditional windmill
• Amélie filming location
• St. Pierre church (outside)
• Tertre square ('village' square)
• Sacre coeur church (outside) - end of tour

This  is a good introductory tour of Montmartre, with  over 20 stops in under two hours.

This is what you would call a ‘whirlwind’ tour of Montmartre, so  any place that inspires curiosity, can be explored more in depth after the tour. Which conveniently ends a short walking distance to Montmartre’s central square.

The maximum size of the touring group will be twelve persons, but usually it will be between two to six persons, as large groups can be an unsatisfying experience for the individual walker.

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
